I picked this little Essie beauty up when I was in Boots
yesterday. I’d been looking for a new
polish for some time now and wanted something a little different from my usual
plum or cotton candy colours (I had to resort to superhuman strength to resist
the urge to buy Essie’s Fiji, Mint Candy Apple or Bahama Mama) instead I opted
for this deep read shade with sparkling red glitter. I did stop and reconsider for one second wondering
if it was a bit too festive – especially since February is just around the
corner – but since there is snow outside I think it’s only right to have a
little Christmas cheer to go with the weather.
Overall, I really like this nail polish. The application was
smooth and it dried extremely quickly – something which for me is an extreme
bonus as I am so impatient. There are a
lot of glitter particles in the polish which meant I only needed two coats of
the polish to achieve a full red discoball effect. My only slight disappointment was that in a
bright light the polish in the bottle has a slight pinky tint to it which does
not translate on to the nail. But in
hindsight this is probably a good thing as the deep red colour stops this
polish looking like something a 7 year old would wear at a Nativity play and
gives the polish an overall effect of being altogether all more sophisticated and
decadent!
